It’s never easy to plan for a future after you pass, but it’s important. What happens to your property? Who will coordinate your care if you become incapacitated? These and other issues can be settled through extensive estate planning.

As you tackle the complications of planning your estate, be sure to work with a trustworthy attorney. Top Escambia estate planning attorney Joseph Stella is a wonderful advocate to have in your corner. He will patiently guide you every step of the way, ensuring that you understand your options and make the best choice for your situation.

Wills and Trusts

If you’re like most Escambia estate planning clients, your chief priority involves drafting a will. You want to make sure that your property ends up in the right hands. You also want to minimize the potential for family disputes after you pass away. Joseph Stella will help you achieve these and other objectives while abiding by all local regulations.

If you’re eager to pass on your assets without undergoing probate, a trust may be a preferable option. You can either opt for a revocable or irrevocable trust. With a revocable trust, you have the ability to make changes, but may suffer extensive tax penalties. Irrevocable trusts are less flexible, but can prompt extensive savings.

Advance Directives

It’s important to plan not only for how your assets will pass on after your death, but also, how your care will be coordinated before you pass away. If you become incapacitated, your advance directive can provide both courts and your loved ones much-needed guidance regarding your preferences.

Other Estate Planning Concerns

Although wills, trusts, and advance directives are a few of the top legal concerns handled at the Law Office of Joseph Stella, PLLC, the law firm also deals with a variety of other estate planning matters. For example, your lawyer can provide guidance as you designate transfer on death or payable on death beneficiaries. Your attorney may also guide you through unique circumstances; for example, if your divorce impacts existing estate planning arrangements, you can turn to your attorney for help.
